The reasons why employers can treat
people like second-class citizens are
ignored. The job deal is very unequal,
it gives employers unfair power over
workers, but bosses being bosses is
just accepted. It is not on.
The lack of widespread unionisation to
respond to this power employers have
over people who are, remember, their
fellow-citizens and the great majority,
is the biggest wrong in economics and
politics. It enables the business class
to treat people badly as workers, corner
gross wealth, and get political power.
The Right To Unionise shows how it
is unfair and why unionising and union
conditions should be universal rights
and expected for everyone, globally.

Explanation of the website design
A simple .html file made in MS Word, the text
is done in a size readable on smartphones that
displays over-large on desktop computers and
tablets. To fix this, a proper webpage is needed
and might get constructed. But it is the content
that matters, of the downloads and the printed
copies on Lulu, and they are continually
improved and display and print OK.
